Environment and recycling
We always consider the ecological aspects of the development and production of Companion products in our choice of materials, and by cutting to minimise waste. A Companion reserve system consists mainly of man-made fibres with a Polyamide, Polyurethane and Polyethylene base. They do not need special disposal treatments. At the end of its life, you can dispose of your reserve in a normal plastics recycling facility.
Something to think about!
Many pilots do not give their reserve a moment’s thought. They may have no idea what device is "hidden" in their harness. The reserve is not repacked frequently at the required time intervals, or it is too old.
We would like to encourage our customers to get to know their reserve and have confidence in it. Although seldom seen, the reserve is an important part of every paraglider pilot’s safety-management system.
